Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with one or more embodiments of the present specification.

It should be noted that: in other embodiments, the steps of the corresponding methods are not necessarily performed in the order shown and described herein. In some other embodiments, the method may include more or fewer steps than those described herein. Moreover, a single step described in this specification may be broken down into multiple steps for description in other embodiments; multiple steps described in this specification may be combined into a single step in other embodiments.

The block chain or block chain network described in one or more embodiments of the present specification may specifically refer to a P2P network system having a distributed data storage structure, where each node device achieves through a common recognition mechanism, the book data in the block chain is distributed within temporally consecutive "blocks", and the latter block may include a data digest of the former block, and according to a difference of a specific common recognition mechanism (such as POW, POS, DPOS, PBFT, or the like), a full backup of data of all or part of nodes is achieved.

Blockchains are generally divided into three types: public chain (Public Blockchain), Private chain (Private Blockchain) and alliance chain (Consortium Blockchain). Furthermore, there may be a combination of the above types, such as private chain + federation chain, federation chain + public chain, and so on.

Among them, the most decentralized is the public chain. The public chain is represented by bitcoin and ether house, and participants (also called nodes in the block chain) joining the public chain can read data records on the chain, participate in transactions, compete for accounting rights of new blocks, and the like. Moreover, each node can freely join or leave the network and perform related operations.

Private chains are the opposite, with the network's write rights controlled by an organization or organization and the data read rights specified by the organization. Briefly, a private chain may be a weakly centralized system with strict restrictions on nodes and a small number of nodes. This type of blockchain is more suitable for use within a particular establishment.

A federation chain is a block chain between a public chain and a private chain, and "partial decentralization" can be achieved. Each node in a federation chain typically has a physical organization or organization corresponding to it; the nodes are authorized to join the network and form a benefit-related alliance, and block chain operation is maintained together.

It is contemplated that the embodiments provided herein can be implemented in any suitable type of blockchain network.

The computing device may construct the data into a standard transaction (transaction) format supported by the blockchain, then issue the transaction to the blockchain, perform consensus processing on the received transaction by the node devices in the blockchain, and package the transaction into a block by the node devices serving as accounting nodes in the blockchain after the consensus is achieved, and perform persistent evidence storage in the blockchain.

Regardless of which consensus algorithm is adopted by the block chain, the accounting node can pack the received transaction to generate a latest block and send the latest block to other node devices for consensus verification. If the latest block is received by other node equipment and no problem is proved, the latest block can be added to the tail of the original block chain, so that the accounting process of the block chain is completed. The transactions contained in the block may also be performed during the process of the other nodes verifying the new block sent by the accounting node.

It should be noted that, each time a block chain generates a latest block, after a transaction in the latest block is executed, the corresponding status of the executed transactions in the block chain changes accordingly, for example, in the block chain structured by an account model, the account status of an external account or an intelligent contract account usually changes correspondingly with the execution of the transaction.

For example, when a "transfer transaction" is completed in a block, the balances of the transferring party account and the transferring party account associated with the "transfer transaction" (i.e., the field values of the Balance fields of these accounts) are usually changed.

For another example, the "intelligent contract invocation transaction" in the block is used to invoke an intelligent contract deployed on the blockchain, invoke the intelligent contract in the EVM corresponding to the node device to execute the "intelligent contract invocation transaction", and update the account status of the intelligent contract account in the account of the intelligent contract after the execution of the intelligent contract invocation transaction.

In practical applications, whether public, private, or alliance, it is possible to provide the functionality of a Smart contract (Smart contract). An intelligent contract on a blockchain is a contract on a blockchain that can be executed triggered by a transaction. An intelligent contract may be defined in the form of code.

Taking an Etherhouse as an example, a user is supported to create and call some complex logic in the Etherhouse network. The ethernet workshop is used as a programmable block chain, and the core of the ethernet workshop is an ethernet workshop virtual machine (EVM), and each ethernet workshop node can run the EVM. The EVM is a well-behaved virtual machine through which various complex logic can be implemented. The user issuing and invoking smart contracts in the etherhouse is running on the EVM. In fact, the EVM directly runs virtual machine code (virtual machine bytecode, hereinafter referred to as "bytecode"), so the intelligent contract deployed on the blockchain may be bytecode.

After Bob sends a Transaction (Transaction) containing information to create a smart contract to the ethernet network, each node can execute the Transaction in the EVM, as shown in fig. 1. The From field of the transaction in the figure is used for recording the address of the account initiating the creation of the intelligent contract, the contract code stored in the field value of the Data field of the transaction can be byte code, and the field value of the To field of the transaction is a null account. After the nodes reach the agreement through the consensus mechanism, the intelligent contract is successfully created, and the follow-up user can call the intelligent contract.

After the intelligent contract is established, a contract account corresponding to the intelligent contract appears on the block chain, and the block chain has a specific address; for example, "0 x68e12cf284 …" in each node in fig. 1 represents the address of the contract account created; the contract Code (Code) and account store (Storage) will be maintained in the account store for that contract account. The behavior of the intelligent contract is controlled by the contract code, while the account storage of the intelligent contract preserves the state of the contract. In other words, the intelligent contract causes a virtual account to be generated on the blockchain that contains the contract code and account storage.

As mentioned above, the Data field containing the transaction that created the intelligent contract may hold the byte code of the intelligent contract. A bytecode consists of a series of bytes, each of which can identify an operation. Based on the multiple considerations of development efficiency, readability and the like, a developer can select a high-level language to write intelligent contract codes instead of directly writing byte codes. For example, the high-level language may employ a language such as Solidity, Serpent, LLL, and the like. For intelligent contract code written in a high-level language, the intelligent contract code can be compiled by a compiler to generate byte codes which can be deployed on a blockchain.

Taking the Solidity language as an example, the contract code written by it is very similar to a Class (Class) in the object-oriented programming language, and various members including state variables, functions, function modifiers, events, etc. can be declared in one contract. A state variable is a value permanently stored in an account Storage (Storage) field of an intelligent contract to save the state of the contract.

As shown in FIG. 2, still taking the Etherhouse as an example, after Bob sends a transaction containing the information of the calling intelligent contract to the Etherhouse network, each node can execute the transaction in the EVM. The From field of the transaction in the figure is used for recording the address of the account initiating the intelligent contract calling, the To field is used for recording the address of the intelligent contract called, and the Data field of the transaction is used for recording the method and the parameters for calling the intelligent contract. After invoking the smart contract, the account status of the contract account may change. Subsequently, a client may check the account status of the contract account through the accessed block link points, for example, the account status may be stored in the Storage tree of the intelligent contract in the form of a Key-Value pair. The results of the execution of the transaction that invokes the smart contract, which may be in the form of a transaction receipt (receipt), are stored in the MPT receipt tree.

The intelligent contract can be independently executed at each node in the blockchain network in a specified mode, and all execution records and data are stored on the blockchain, so that after the transaction is executed, transaction certificates which cannot be tampered and lost are stored on the blockchain.

A schematic diagram of creating an intelligent contract and invoking the intelligent contract is shown in fig. 3. An intelligent contract is created in an Ethernet workshop and needs to be subjected to the processes of compiling the intelligent contract, changing the intelligent contract into byte codes, deploying the intelligent contract to a block chain and the like. The intelligent contract is called in the Ethernet workshop, a transaction pointing to the intelligent contract address is initiated, the EVM of each node can respectively execute the transaction, and the intelligent contract code is distributed and operated in the virtual machine of each node in the Ethernet workshop network.

For accounts in a blockchain, the account status of the account is usually maintained through a structure. When a transaction in a block is executed, the status of the account associated with the transaction in the block chain is also typically changed.

Taking etherhouses as an example, the structure of an account usually includes fields such as Balance, Nonce, Code and Storage. Wherein:

a Balance field for maintaining the current account Balance of the account;

a Nonce field for maintaining a number of transactions for the account; the counter is used for guaranteeing that each transaction can be processed only once, and replay attack is effectively avoided;

a Code field for maintaining a contract Code for the account; in practical applications, only the hash value of the contract Code is typically maintained in the Code field; thus, the Code field is also commonly referred to as the Codhash field.

A Storage field for maintaining the Storage contents of the account (default field value is null); for a contract account, a separate storage space is usually allocated to store the storage content of the contract account; this separate storage space is often referred to as the account storage of the contract account. The storage content of the contract account is usually constructed into a data structure of an MPT (media Patricia Trie) tree and stored in the independent storage space; in which, the Storage content based on the contract account is constructed into an MPT tree, which is also commonly referred to as a Storage tree. Whereas the Storage field typically maintains only the root node of the Storage tree; thus, the Storage field is also commonly referred to as the Storage root field.

Wherein, for the external account, the field values of the Code field and the Storage field shown above are both null values.

For most blockchain models, Merkle trees are typically used; alternatively, the data is stored and maintained based on the data structure of the Merkle tree. Taking etherhouses as an example, the etherhouses use MPT tree (a Merkle tree variation) as a data organization form for organizing and managing important data such as account status, transaction information, and the like.

The Etherhouse designs three MPT trees, namely an MPT state tree, an MPT transaction tree and an MPT receipt tree, aiming at data needing to be stored and maintained in a block chain. In addition to the three MPT trees, there is actually a Storage tree constructed based on the Storage content of the contract account.

An MPT state tree, which is an MPT tree organized by account state data of all accounts in a blockchain; an MPT transaction tree, which is an MPT tree organized by transaction (transaction) data in a blockchain; the MPT receipt tree is organized into transaction (receipt) receipts corresponding to each transaction generated after the transactions in the block are executed. The hash values of the root nodes of the MPT state tree, the MPT transaction tree, and the MPT receipt tree shown above are eventually added to the block header of the corresponding block.

The MPT transaction tree and the MPT receipt tree correspond to the blocks, namely each block has the MPT transaction tree and the MPT receipt tree. For the MPT transaction tree, the MPT receipt tree and the MPT state tree which are organized, the MPT transaction tree, the MPT receipt tree and the MPT state tree are finally stored in a Key-Value type database (such as a levelDB) which adopts a multi-level data storage structure.

In the public chain field, the miners are often encouraged to carry out block chaining out through gas, token and other modes, and the miners can select higher-commission-cost transactions such as gas or token to preferentially pack in blocks so as to increase self income; for the non-miner nodes, although the storage and consensus resources are contributed, corresponding benefits are not obtained. In a token-free (token) -based blockchain model, such as a federation chain, especially in an open federation chain environment, how to count blockchain resources provided by node devices and cover corresponding node costs is also an urgent issue to be solved. At present, there is no method for resource management and charging for users of the blockchain based on the use or occupation of blockchain resources.

In view of the above, one or more embodiments of the present specification provide various resource charging approaches in a blockchain system. It is contemplated that the embodiments provided herein can be implemented in a suitable type of blockchain network, such as a public chain, a federation chain, a private chain, and so forth.

The management platform according to one or more embodiments provided in this specification may include a platform that is provided in or connected to each node device of the blockchain, so as to manage each node device of the blockchain. Optionally, the management platform includes a cloud computing management platform, and correspondingly, the node device of the block chain includes a virtual machine created on a physical host managed by the cloud computing management platform.

The blockchain client described in one or more embodiments provided in this specification may be connected to a node device of a blockchain through the management platform, so as to send a transaction to a blockchain network or obtain a transaction execution result in the blockchain network based on communication with the management platform.

In the blockchain provided in this specification, the management platform performs value anchoring on system resources and virtual resources carried by node devices of the blockchain.

The virtual resources may include digitized forms of real assets circulating under the blockchain, such as assets in the form of currency, real estate, stocks, bonds, loan contracts, notes, accounts receivable, and the like; virtual resources circulating over the blockchain may also be included, such as virtual tokens (e.g., bitcoins, ethercoins, etc.) that begin circulating over the blockchain based on a mine excavation reward that is earned by a billing node (or miner node) of the blockchain packing and successfully adding blocks. Virtual tokens generated based on mineworker node mining typically do not have a value-anchoring relationship with real assets outside the chain; thus, in yet another illustrative embodiment, virtual resources published on a blockchain may include blockchain assets having a value-anchoring relationship with off-chain real assets held by a user, and virtual resources anchored to the frozen real assets and capable of circulation on the chain may be published on the chain by freezing real-world real assets (including assets in the form of currency, real property, stocks, loan contracts, tickets, accounts receivable, and the like).

When the method is realized, the user client side can perform an asset freezing exchange process with the management platform, freeze a certain amount of real assets and send a freezing certificate to the management platform; after receiving the frozen voucher, the management platform can instruct the node device to add virtual resources corresponding to the frozen real asset amount value to the balance of the user's blockchain account on the blockchain based on the frozen voucher.

The virtual resource corresponding to the frozen real asset amount value is added into the balance of the user's blockchain account based on the frozen certificate, and the method can be further realized by the interaction between the user and an intelligent contract: the management platform triggers a virtual resource exchange transaction sent to a blockchain network, wherein the virtual resource exchange transaction comprises the asset freezing voucher; responding to the virtual resource exchange transaction, the node equipment of the blockchain calls a virtual resource exchange contract deployed on the blockchain, executes the resource exchange logic declared by the intelligent contract, and adds virtual resources corresponding to the real asset amount value frozen by the asset freezing voucher into the account balance of the blockchain of the user.

Based on the mode, the user can obtain virtual resources which can be anchored with the value of the real assets in the block chain network based on the real assets held by the user, and the virtual resources can be expressed as the balance of the account on the chain of the user.

In the blockchain network system, the system resources provided by the blockchain node devices for the blockchain service can be value-anchored with the virtual resources. For example, the storage resources provided by the node device for the data on the blockchain may perform value anchoring with the virtual resources, and the blockchain data per storage unit capacity may obtain the virtual resources corresponding thereto; for another example, the CPU computational resources provided by the node device for executing any transaction on the blockchain may perform value anchoring with the virtual resources, and each CPU instruction set of the execution unit number may obtain the virtual resources corresponding thereto; for another example, the node device may perform value anchoring with the virtual resource for a network resource provided by broadcast or consensus of any transaction on the block chain, and may obtain the corresponding virtual resource based on network traffic consumed in the broadcast or consensus process of the uplink transaction.

The block chain developer or the management platform may quantify the system resources in the form of the storage resources, the computing resources, the network resources, and the like, and price the number of virtual resources corresponding to each unit of the storage resources, the computing resources, the network resources, or the system resources in other forms in the block chain network. For a federation chain, whose federation members are relatively fixed, the system resource pricing resulting from the anchoring can remain fixed for a longer period of time; for a public link system, nodes enter or exit a blockchain network more frequently, and after a blockchain developer performs unit pricing on the system resources in various forms, the blockchain developer performs real-time virtual resource transfer based on the blockchain scale when a user uses the blockchain, or performs periodic virtual resource transfer according to a shorter period. Those skilled in the art can also deduct virtual resources from the actual cost requirement to the user for the blockchain service provided by the blockchain node device based on any form of system resources having a value anchor relationship with the virtual resources, which is not limited in the present specification.

As shown in fig. 4, the intelligent contract creation method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this specification, executed by the management platform, may include:

step 402, acquiring an intelligent contract creating transaction triggered by a blockchain client, wherein the intelligent contract creating transaction comprises an intelligent contract code and account storage capacity corresponding to the intelligent contract requested by a user.

The present embodiment does not limit the identity of the builder of the smart contract creation transaction described above. In an illustrated embodiment, the intelligent contract creation transaction may be constructed by the blockchain client, and after construction, based on a trigger operation of a user at the client, the intelligent contract creation transaction is sent to the management platform, so that the management platform forwards the transaction to a blockchain network after acquiring the intelligent contract creation transaction.

In yet another illustrated embodiment, the blockchain client may send the intelligent contract code to a management platform to trigger the management platform to construct an intelligent contract creation transaction based on the intelligent contract code and send the intelligent contract creation transaction constructed by the management platform to a blockchain network.

The account storage capacity requested by the user corresponding to the intelligent contract comprises the capacity of storage resources allocated by the user requesting node equipment for the intelligent contract account created based on the intelligent contract code. In yet another illustrated embodiment, the blockchain system may provide a default account storage capacity for the intelligent contract account, at which time, the fields included in the intelligent contract creation transaction and corresponding to the user-requested account storage capacity corresponding to the intelligent contract may be empty to perform, by the node device, calculation of the amount of virtual resources that can be deducted (as set forth in step 404) and allocation of storage resources based on the default account storage capacity.

Step 404, calculating a first amount of the virtual resource anchored to the system resource value of the node device of the blockchain consumed for processing the smart contract creation transaction; wherein the system resources of the node devices of the blockchain consumed to process the smart contract creation transaction comprise account storage resources allocated by the node devices to the smart contract based on the account storage capacity requested by the user.

The process of processing the intelligent contract creation transaction by the node devices of the blockchain may include one or more of receiving, forwarding (broadcasting) the intelligent contract creation transaction, performing consensus verification on the intelligent contract creation transaction, virtual resource transfer, executing the intelligent contract creation transaction, creating an intelligent contract account corresponding to the intelligent contract code, and including the intelligent contract creation transaction in a new block or the like. Because the value of the system resources carried by the node devices is anchored with the virtual resources, and the node devices of the block chain provide the system resources of the node devices in the whole process of processing the intelligent contract creation transaction, the management platform can calculate and determine the first quantity of virtual resources anchored with the quantity of the system resources based on the quantity of the system resources consumed or provided by the node devices in the process of processing the intelligent contract creation transaction.

Specifically, the above-mentioned system resources of the node device consumed for processing the intelligent contract creation transaction may include the account storage capacity requested by the user, the account storage resources allocated by the node device of the block chain for the intelligent contract, for example, the management platform may price the storage resources provided by the node device: m (virtual resource units)/Gb, a user requests NGb a storage capacity for an account of the smart contract in a smart contract creation transaction, and the management platform may calculate a first amount of virtual resources anchored to a storage resource value of a node device consumed for processing the smart contract creation transaction, including: m N (virtual resource units).

It is noted that the pricing of the storage resources provided by the node devices by the management platform may be related to the number of nodes of the blockchain system, and it is expected that the more node devices of the blockchain, the more total amount of the storage resources actually occupied by the created intelligent contract account, and therefore, the blockchain system may adjust the pricing of the storage resources per unit charged to the user based on the number of the node devices.

Based on the specific setting of the blockchain system, the first amount of the virtual resource charged to the user may cause the node device to permanently provide NGb storage resources for the account of the intelligent contract, or may cause NGb storage resources for the account of the intelligent contract within a preset effective time period.

To customize the specific length of time that a node device may provide storage resources for an account of a smart contract based on the needs of a user, in yet another illustrated embodiment, the smart contract creation transaction further comprises: the effective duration corresponding to the account storage capacity requested by the user; the effective duration of the storage resources carried by the node equipment is subjected to value anchoring with the virtual resources released on the block chain; accordingly, calculating the amount of virtual resources that are anchored to the account storage resource value includes: calculating the number of virtual resources anchored to the account storage resources and the expiration date value.

For example, the blockchain system may price the storage resources provided by the node devices: m (virtual resource units)/Gb/day, a user has requested NGb a storage capacity and a one-year validity duration for an account of the smart contract in a smart contract creation transaction; the management platform may calculate a first amount of virtual resources anchored to the storage resource value of the node device consumed to process the smart contract creation transaction, including: m × N × 365 (virtual resource unit).

It is noted that the field corresponding to the validity duration corresponding to the account storage capacity requested by the user, which is included in the smart contract creation transaction, may be null, so that the management platform performs the calculation of the first amount of the virtual resource based on the validity duration default by the blockchain system.

In yet another illustrative embodiment, the system resources of the node device consumed for processing the intelligent contract creation transaction may further include computing resources of the node device consumed for processing the intelligent contract creation transaction, or network resources.

The computing resources may include a number of instructions in a CPU instruction set consumed by the node device to execute the smart contract creation transaction. For example, the blockchain system (or the management platform) may price the computing resources provided by the node devices: m (virtual resource units)/instructions, the management platform may first calculate the number N of instructions in the CPU instruction set consumed to execute the intelligent contract creation transaction, and then calculate a first number of virtual resources corresponding to the N instructions, anchored to the value of the computational resources of the node device consumed to process the intelligent contract creation transaction: m N (virtual resource units).

The network resource may include a blockchain network traffic consumed in transmitting the smart contract creation transaction through broadcasting, consensus, or the like, and the network resource is positively correlated to the number of nodes of the blockchain. For example, the blockchain system (or the management platform described above) may price network resources provided by the node devices: m (virtual resource units)/mega traffic, the management platform may first calculate a total network traffic N mega consumed to execute the intelligent contract creation transaction, and then calculate a first number of virtual resources corresponding to the N mega traffic, anchored to the network resource value of the node device consumed to process the intelligent contract creation transaction: m N (virtual resource units).

In this embodiment, the form of the system resource is not specifically limited, and in addition to the computing resource, the network resource, the storage resource, and the storage duration, the management platform may perform value anchoring with the form of the system resource and the virtual resource based on other forms of system resources of the block link node device consumed in the process of creating the intelligent contract, so that a corresponding amount of virtual resources is deducted from the virtual resource account of the user based on the form of system resource consumption in the process of creating the intelligent contract.

In an illustrated embodiment, a calculation model for calculating the amount of the virtual resource anchored by the system resource value of the node device consumed for processing the intelligent contract creation transaction may be deployed in the management platform, and after the management platform obtains the intelligent contract creation transaction triggered by the blockchain client, the management platform may calculate, based on invoking the calculation model, the first amount of the virtual resource anchored by the system resource value required for processing the intelligent contract creation transaction. The system resource may include one or more of the storage resources, storage durations, computing resources, network resources, and other resource forms described in the foregoing embodiments.

Alternatively, an intelligent contract (hereinafter referred to as a resource computation contract) for computing virtual resource consumption for the intelligent contract creation transaction may be further deployed on the blockchain, and the contract code of the resource computation contract includes execution logic including resource computation logic for computing a first amount of virtual resources that are value-anchored to system resources of the node device consumed for processing the intelligent contract creation transaction;

accordingly, the foregoing embodiments wherein the computing platform calculates the first amount of the virtual resource anchored to the system resource value of the node device of the blockchain consumed by processing the smart contract creation transaction, comprises:

invoking the resource computation contract, executing the resource computation logic, computing a first amount of the virtual resource anchored to a system resource value of a node device consumed to execute the smart contract creation transaction.

It should be noted that, when the management platform invokes the resource calculation intelligent contract to execute the resource calculation logic, a Local Transaction (Local Transaction or Local call) may be constructed in response to the intelligent contract creation Transaction, and the resource calculation intelligent contract deployed on the blockchain is invoked locally to determine the first amount of the virtual resource anchored by the system resource value of the node device consumed for executing the intelligent contract creation Transaction. At this time, the management platform may obtain the call execution result of the resource computation contract locally without recognizing the call execution result of the resource computation contract on the blockchain.

Specifically, when the computing resources, network resources, storage resources, or storage durations consumed by the node devices of the blockchain to process the intelligent contract creation transaction all account for the computing process of system resource consumption, the content, included in the resource computing logic deployed by the computing model or the resource computing contract, of the first amount of the virtual resources anchored to the system resource value of the node devices consumed to process the intelligent contract creation transaction may include:

calculating a second amount of computing resources of the node device consumed for processing the smart contract creation transaction and determining a third amount of the virtual resources anchored to the second amount of computing resource value; the computing resources may comprise the number of instructions in a CPU instruction set consumed by the node device to process the smart contract creation transaction;

calculating a fourth amount of network resources of the node device consumed for processing the smart contract creation transaction and determining a fifth amount of the virtual resources anchored with the fourth amount of network resource value; the network resource may include a blockchain network traffic consumed during broadcasting, consensus, etc. transmission of the transaction, the network resource being positively correlated to a number of nodes of the blockchain;

calculating a sixth amount of the virtual resource anchored to the account storage capacity value within the validity duration of the user request;

based on the third quantity, the fifth quantity, and the sixth quantity, a sum of virtual resources anchored to system resource values of node devices consumed to process the smart contract creation transaction may be determined to be a sum of the third quantity, the fifth quantity, and the sixth quantity.

Step 406, obtaining a message that the virtual resource account of the user is deducted from the first amount of virtual resources.

The virtual resource account of the user is an account storing the same type of resources as the virtual resources; when the virtual resource is an out-of-chain real resource, the virtual resource account may include a currency account (such as a bank account), or a virtual currency or virtual point account that is established on the management platform by the user and exchanged by using currency; when the virtual resource is a virtual resource issued on a blockchain, the virtual resource account may include a user's blockchain account.

When the virtual resource account of the user is a money account, the entity that deducts the first amount of virtual resources from the virtual resource account of the user may be a financial institution such as a bank, and may transfer the deducted first amount of virtual resources to a money account corresponding to a management platform; when the virtual resource account of the user is a virtual coin or a virtual point account established on the management platform, the entity for deducting the first amount of virtual resources from the virtual resource account of the user may be the management platform; when the virtual resource account of the user is a blockchain account, the entity that performs deduction of the first amount of virtual resources from the virtual resource account of the user may be a node device of a blockchain, and may transfer the deducted first amount of virtual resources to a blockchain account corresponding to a management platform.

The present embodiment does not limit the execution body, the deduction opportunity, and the specific manner of deducting the first amount of virtual resources from the virtual resource account of the user.

Step 408, sending the intelligent contract creation transaction to the blockchain, so that the node devices of the blockchain execute the intelligent contract creation transaction, and create an intelligent contract account corresponding to the intelligent contract code in the blockchain.

The management platform sends the intelligent contract creating transaction to a blockchain, so that the intelligent contract creating transaction can be broadcasted in the blockchain network, subjected to consensus verification, and executed by node equipment of the blockchain after the consensus verification is passed, so as to create an intelligent contract account corresponding to the intelligent contract code in a state database of the blockchain.

As previously described, a structure of a smart contract account may generally include fields such as Balance, Nonce, Code, and Storage. A Balance field for maintaining the current account Balance of the account; a Nonce field for maintaining a number of transactions for the account; the counter is used for guaranteeing that each transaction can be processed only once, and replay attack is effectively avoided; a Code field for maintaining a contract Code for the account; in practice, only the hash value of the contract Code is typically maintained in the Code field (the Code of the smart contract is then stored in the block in which the smart contract creation transaction is recorded).

A Storage field for maintaining the Storage content of the account; for a contract account, a separate storage space is usually allocated to store the storage content of the contract account; this separate storage space is often referred to as the account storage of the contract account. The storage content of the contract account is usually constructed into a data structure of an MPT (media Patricia Trie) tree and stored in the independent storage space; in which, the Storage content based on the contract account is constructed into an MPT tree, which is also commonly referred to as a Storage tree. Whereas the Storage field typically maintains only the root node of the Storage tree; thus, the Storage field is also commonly referred to as the Storage root field.

When the smart contract account corresponding to the smart contract code is created in the blockchain (e.g., MPT status tree), the node device may include a transaction receipt (receive) including an execution result of the smart contract creation transaction in the MPT receipt tree of the blockchain, and then the management platform may return a prompt indicating that the smart contract creation is successful to the blockchain client based on the transaction receipt.

Based on the method for creating an intelligent contract according to one or more embodiments, the value of the system resource carried by the node device of the block chain may be anchored with the virtual resource, so that the node device system resource of the block chain consumed by the transaction created by processing the intelligent contract based on the node device may anchor the first amount of virtual resource, and deduct the first amount of virtual resource from the virtual resource account of the user, thereby optimizing and utilizing the block chain resource and effectively preventing the waste of the system resource on the block chain.

It should be noted that the execution sequence of

steps

404, 406 and 408 is not limited in the above embodiment.

In an illustrated embodiment, after acquiring an intelligent contract creation transaction triggered by a blockchain client, a management platform calculates a first quantity of the virtual resources anchored with a system resource value of a node device of the blockchain consumed for processing the intelligent contract creation transaction; after obtaining the message that the first amount of virtual resources are deducted from the virtual resource account of the user, sending the intelligent contract creation transaction to the blockchain, so that the node device of the blockchain executes the intelligent contract creation transaction, creating an intelligent contract account corresponding to the intelligent contract code in the blockchain, and allocating account storage resources for the intelligent contract account based on the account storage capacity.

The management platform may send a payment instruction of the first amount of virtual resources to the user client after calculating the first amount of virtual resources anchored to the system resource value of the node device of the block chain consumed for processing the smart contract creation transaction.

For example, the user client may push a cash payment page on a user interface of the client, so that the financial institution corresponding to the cash account of the user performs the deduction of the first amount of virtual resources from the cash account of the user in response to payment verification information (e.g., a digital password, biometric identification information) input by the user at the client.

For another example, the user client may push, on a user interface of the client, a virtual point payment page circulated on the management platform, where the virtual point is obtained by exchanging money and cash on the management platform by the user and is stored in a virtual point account opened on the management platform by the user, so that, in response to payment verification information (e.g., a digital password, biometric identification information) input by the user at the client, the management platform deducts the first amount of virtual resources from the virtual point account of the user on the management platform.

When the virtual resource is a virtual resource issued on a blockchain, the management platform may construct a page for the transfer transaction on the blockchain, which is pushed on a user interface of the client, so that the blockchain client may further send the transfer transaction to the blockchain through the management platform, so that after the transfer transaction is verified by the blockchain, the node device of the blockchain deducts the virtual resource of the first quantity from the blockchain account of the user, or deducts the virtual resource of the first quantity from the blockchain account of the user and transfers the virtual resource of the first quantity to the blockchain account corresponding to the management platform. The management platform may then learn from the node device whether the transfer transaction was successfully executed.

If the deduction process fails due to the fact that the number of the virtual resources held by the virtual resource account of the user is smaller than the first number, or the management platform does not acquire a message that the virtual resource account of the client user is deducted by the first number of the virtual resources within a preset time limit, the management platform may return a prompt that the execution of the intelligent contract creation transaction fails to the blockchain client.

It should be noted that, because the system resources consumed by the node device to execute the intelligent contract creation transaction include various forms such as computing resources, network resources, storage resources, and the like, some resource forms may be calculated based on the code of the intelligent contract before the intelligent contract creation transaction is executed, and some resource forms may be accurately known only after the intelligent contract creation transaction is executed. Thus, the first amount of virtual resources to be deducted, as described in step 406 of this embodiment, may be based on an estimate of system resources that may need to be consumed to execute the smart contract-creation transaction; the management platform may further monitor, after the intelligent contract creation transaction is successfully executed, actual system resource loss of the statistical node device in the process of processing the intelligent contract creation transaction, to check whether system resources consumed by the intelligent contract after creation are obviously inconsistent with estimated system resources, so as to perform corresponding virtual resource supplement or return operation, which is not limited in this specification.

In yet another illustrated embodiment, after acquiring the intelligent contract creation transaction triggered by the blockchain client, the management platform performs step 408, and sends the intelligent contract creation transaction to the blockchain, so that the node device of the blockchain executes the intelligent contract creation transaction, creates an intelligent contract account corresponding to the intelligent contract code, and temporarily stores the intelligent contract account and a transaction receipt (receive) corresponding to the intelligent contract creation transaction in a memory; the management platform then performs step 404 to calculate a first amount of the virtual resources anchored to the system resource value of the node device of the block chain consumed for processing the smart contract creation transaction, so as to deduct the first amount of the virtual resources from the virtual resource account of the user.

In the above process of calculating and processing the first amount of the virtual resource anchored by the system resource value of the node device of the block chain consumed by the intelligent contract creation transaction, the management platform may perform statistical calculation on the system resource actually consumed by the node device of the block chain to process the intelligent contract creation transaction, for example, the management platform communicates with each node device to obtain the storage resource capacity actually occupied by the intelligent contract account and the calculation resource actually consumed by executing the intelligent contract creation transaction, which are statistically recorded by each node device, and may also perform statistical calculation on the network resource consumed by transmitting the intelligent contract creation transaction in the block chain network.

When the virtual resource is an entity asset outside the blockchain or the management platform issues circulating credits or tokens anchored to the entity asset, after learning that the node device has temporarily stored the intelligent contract account and a transaction receipt (receive) corresponding to the intelligent contract creation transaction in the memory, the management platform may send an instruction to the client to pay the virtual resource by a first amount, for example, pushing a cash currency payment page on a user interface of the client, issuing a circulating virtual point payment page by the management platform, in response to the payment verification information (such as a digital password and biological identification information) input by the user at the client, the financial institution corresponding to the cash money account of the user performs the deduction of the first amount of virtual resources from the cash money account of the user or from the virtual credit account of the user at the management platform by the management platform. When the virtual resource is currency cash, the first amount of virtual resource may be transferred to a currency-cash account corresponding to the management platform.

If the first amount of virtual resources are successfully deducted from the cash money account of the user or the virtual resources held by the virtual points account of the management platform by the user, the node device may create the intelligent contract account in a blockchain and save a transaction receipt (receipt) generated after executing the intelligent contract creation transaction in an MPT receipt tree of the blockchain; at this time, the management platform may return a prompt to the blockchain client that the execution of the intelligent contract creation transaction is completed (for example, the intelligent contract creation is successful);

if the amount of the cash money account of the user or the virtual resources held by the user in the virtual credit account of the management platform is smaller than the first amount or the first amount of the virtual resources are not successfully deducted within a preset payment term, the management platform can instruct the node equipment to delete the intelligent contract account stored in the memory and a transaction receipt (receive) indicating that the intelligent contract creation transaction is successfully executed; at this time, the management platform may return a prompt that the execution of the intelligent contract creation transaction fails to the blockchain client.

When the virtual resource is a virtual resource issued on a blockchain, the smart contract creation transaction may further include an account identifier of a blockchain account of the user. The account identifier is an account identifier of a user account from which the first amount of virtual resources is deducted for creation of the smart contract; the account identification may include the account identification of the intelligent contract creation transaction publisher, and may also include account identifications of other users specified by the intelligent contract creation transaction publisher. The type of the account corresponding to the account identifier may include an external account, or may also include an intelligent contract account, for example, a creation transaction for another intelligent contract is initiated by an intelligent contract that has been created in the block chain, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, after the node device temporarily stores the smart contract account and a transaction receipt (receive) corresponding to the smart contract creation transaction in the memory, the node device may deduct the first amount of virtual resources from the blockchain account specified by the smart contract creation transaction including the account identifier, or deduct the first amount of virtual resources from the blockchain account specified by the smart contract creation transaction including the account identifier, and add the first amount of virtual resources to the blockchain account corresponding to the management platform.

If the first amount of virtual resources are successfully deducted from the virtual resources held by the blockchain account corresponding to the account identifier, the node equipment can create the intelligent contract account in the blockchain and store a transaction receipt (receive) generated after the intelligent contract creation transaction is executed in an MPT receipt tree of the blockchain; at this time, the management platform may return a prompt to the blockchain client that the execution of the intelligent contract creation transaction is completed (for example, the intelligent contract creation is successful);

if the amount of the virtual resources held by the blockchain account corresponding to the account identifier is smaller than the first amount, the node device cannot deduct the first amount of the virtual resources from the blockchain account corresponding to the account identifier, and at this time, the node device may delete the intelligent contract account stored in the memory and a transaction receipt (receipt) indicating that the intelligent contract creation transaction is successfully executed; at this time, the management platform may return a prompt that the execution of the intelligent contract creation transaction fails to the blockchain client.

Or, when the amount of the virtual resources held by the virtual resource account is less than the first amount and the first amount of the virtual resources cannot be deducted in a sufficient amount, the management platform may instruct the node device to temporarily store the transaction receipt, send a balance supplement reminder to the blockchain client, after the blockchain client completes balance supplement on the user account, perform deduction of the first amount of the virtual resources, and after successful deduction, create an intelligent contract account corresponding to the intelligent contract code in the blockchain, and store the transaction receipt (receipt) in an MPT receipt tree of the blockchain, so that the management platform returns a prompt of completion of creation of the transaction of the intelligent contract to the blockchain client.

In another embodiment, when the virtual resource is a virtual resource issued on a blockchain, the process of broadcasting, consensus verification, and execution of the creation transaction of the smart contract in the blockchain may specifically include:

after receiving the intelligent contract establishing transaction sent by the blockchain client, the node equipment can broadcast and transmit the intelligent contract establishing transaction in a blockchain network;

after receiving the intelligent contract establishing transaction, the consensus node in the block chain can perform consensus verification on the intelligent contract establishing transaction;

if consensus verification for the smart contract creation transaction passes, a node device of a blockchain may deduct a first amount of virtual resources from a blockchain account corresponding to a user identification based on the first amount of virtual resources anchored to a value of system resources of the blockchain node device consumed to process the smart contract creation transaction; and creating an intelligent contract account in the blockchain that corresponds to the intelligent contract code.

In this embodiment, in order to reduce the waste of system resources of a node device due to a failure of creating the intelligent contract caused by an insufficient balance of virtual resources in the blockchain account corresponding to the user identifier for paying the first amount of virtual resources required to be transferred for processing the intelligent contract creation transaction, the consensus verification process performed by the consensus node of the blockchain may include: verifying whether the quantity of virtual resources held by the blockchain account corresponding to the user identification contained in the intelligent contract creation transaction is not less than a preset threshold value.

The preset threshold may be a fixed virtual resource value set by the blockchain developer for the transaction of the intelligent contract creation type, for example, the preset threshold may be set based on the minimum system resource consumption for executing the transaction of the intelligent contract creation type or the number of virtual resources anchored by the average system resource consumption; under the condition, in order to successfully create the intelligent contract, the virtual resource quantity meeting the preset threshold value needs to be held in the blockchain account corresponding to the user identifier, so that when the virtual resource quantity in the blockchain account corresponding to the user identifier is less than the preset threshold value, a prompt that the consensus verification fails is directly returned, and system resources consumed by processing the transaction created by the intelligent contract after the node equipment is in the consensus verification stage are avoided.

In some embodiments, although the smart contract creation transaction passes the consensus verification including that the balance of the user account is not less than the preset threshold, the transaction execution may fail due to the fact that the first amount of the virtual resource determined by the calculation is greater than the balance of the blockchain account corresponding to the user identifier, the account storage capacity corresponding to the smart contract requested by the user is too large, or the logic of the smart contract is too complex.

Optionally, the consensus verification may further include the process of calculating and processing the first amount of the system resource value-anchored virtual resource of the node device of the block chain consumed by the intelligent contract creation transaction in step 404, for example, when the underlying protocol of the block chain deploys a calculation model for calculating the amount of the system resource value-anchored virtual resource of the node device of the block chain consumed by the intelligent contract creation transaction, the consensus node acquires the intelligent contract creation transaction, that is, the first amount of the virtual resource that needs to be deducted by the user account based on the creation of the intelligent contract is acquired based on the calculation model, and the preset threshold may be the first amount of the virtual resource determined by the calculation process, so that the consensus node of the block chain is in the consensus verification, and executing consensus verification whether the amount of the virtual resources is enough to be deducted or not directly based on the first amount of the virtual resources required to be delivered for processing the intelligent contract creation transaction, thereby providing more accurate consensus verification and improving the execution success rate of the intelligent contract creation transaction passing the consensus verification.

In one or more embodiments, after the management platform learns that the virtual resource account of the user is successfully deducted from the first amount of virtual resources, the management platform may hold the virtual resource account of the first amount of virtual resources, which is allocated to the user or mechanism entity corresponding to the node device of the block chain based on a preset period (including real-time or periodically), so as to complete the allocation of the virtual resources to the user or mechanism entity providing the system resources in the block chain system.

The present embodiment does not limit the specific manner in which the virtual resources are allocated. For example, the management platform may allocate the received currency cash or the currency cash corresponding to the deducted virtual credits to a currency cash account of a user or institution entity corresponding to the node device of the blockchain, or the management platform may allocate virtual resources issued on the chain received in the blockchain account to a blockchain account of a user or institution entity corresponding to the node device of the blockchain, and then, in response to a redemption request of the user or institution, redeem the virtual resources allocated in the blockchain account thereof to entity assets outside the chain, and perform logout processing on the redeemed virtual resources on the chain.

The rule for allocating the first amount of virtual resources to the blockchain account corresponding to each node device in the blockchain is not specifically limited in this specification. For example, the node device may averagely allocate the deducted virtual resources of the first quantity to virtual resource accounts of users or institution entities corresponding to the node devices of the block chain to hold the virtual resources.

Or, based on the storage medium performance attribute of the account storage resource allocated to the intelligent contract by each node device of the block chain, the virtual resource accounts allocated to the users or the mechanism entities corresponding to each node device of the block chain from the first number of virtual resources are respectively held. For example, since the storage medium configurations of the node devices are different, the blockchain system may rank the storage medium of each node device based on the storage medium performance attribute (e.g., hard disk performance attribute such as hdd, ssd, or nvm) of each node device obtained by monitoring each node device, so as to allocate a higher proportion of virtual resources to the node device providing a high-level storage medium and allocate a lower proportion of virtual resources to the node device providing a low-level storage medium.

In one or more of the above embodiments, the management platform may maintain the status of the account storage resources that the block link node device may allocate to the intelligent contract account, for example, the remaining storage capacity of the account storage, and/or the remaining effective duration corresponding to the account storage resources; for the sake of saving the blockchain storage resources, the node device may not maintain the account storage resource status of the intelligent contract account; and the node equipment receives and executes the intelligent contract creating transaction or the subsequent calling transaction of the intelligent contract sent by the management platform without actually reserving the account storage capacity corresponding to the intelligent contract requested by the user for the intelligent contract account.

In the duration of the intelligent contract, the user may correspondingly extend or reduce the capacity of the storage resource allocated by the node device to the intelligent contract according to the actual demand, and/or correspondingly extend or reduce the effective duration corresponding to the account storage resource, so as to change the state of the remaining storage capacity of the account storage resource allocated by the node device of the block chain maintained in the management platform to the intelligent contract account, and/or the state of the remaining effective duration corresponding to the account storage resource.

Since the data capacity actually stored in the intelligent contract account changes correspondingly after the call transaction of the intelligent contract is executed, for example, when the call transaction of the intelligent contract is used to store the business data in the intelligent contract account, after the call transaction of the intelligent contract is executed, the storage capacity actually occupied in the intelligent contract account is further increased by the storage data, so that the residual storage capacity maintained in the management platform (as maintained in the intelligent contract account or in the management contract account) is not enough to support the storage capacity actually increased by the intelligent contract account.

Therefore, another illustrative embodiment of the present specification further provides a method for invoking an intelligent contract, including:

the management platform receives an intelligent contract calling transaction sent by a blockchain client;

verifying whether the remaining storage capacity maintained in the management platform is below a preset threshold; the preset threshold value can comprise a default and residual storage capacity threshold value set by the management platform for the transaction of the intelligent contract calling transaction type, or the management platform calculates the storage capacity of an intelligent contract account which is preset based on a preset storage resource occupation algorithm and is newly occupied by executing the intelligent contract calling transaction based on the intelligent contract calling transaction;

and/or verifying whether the remaining effective duration maintained in the management platform is lower than a preset threshold value; the preset threshold may comprise a default, remaining validity duration threshold (which may be zero) set by the blockchain system for transactions of the intelligent contract invocation transaction type;

if so, returning a prompt of failure in executing the calling transaction to the blockchain client side which sends the calling transaction;

if not, the intelligent contract calling transaction is sent to the block chain, so that the node equipment of the block chain executes the calling transaction of the intelligent contract, the occupation of the storage resource of the intelligent contract account is monitored after the execution of the calling transaction of the intelligent contract is completed, and the remaining storage capacity and/or the remaining effective duration of the intelligent contract account maintained in the management platform are/is updated.

Correspondingly, another illustrated embodiment of the present specification further provides a method for invoking an intelligent contract, including:

sending the intelligent contract calling transaction to the blockchain so that node equipment of the blockchain executes the intelligent contract calling transaction, and temporarily storing the state of the intelligent contract account after the intelligent contract calling transaction is executed and a transaction receipt of the intelligent contract calling transaction in a memory by the node equipment of the blockchain;

verifying whether the residual storage capacity of the intelligent contract account is lower than a preset threshold value after executing the intelligent contract calling transaction; the preset threshold may comprise a default, remaining storage capacity threshold (which may be zero) set by the blockchain system for transactions of the intelligent contract invocation transaction type;

and/or verifying whether the remaining effective duration is lower than a preset threshold value; the preset threshold may comprise a default, remaining validity duration threshold (which may be zero) set by the blockchain system for transactions of the intelligent contract invocation transaction type;

if so, indicating the node equipment of the blockchain to delete the state of the intelligent contract account and the transaction receipt of the intelligent contract calling transaction stored in the memory, and returning a prompt of failure execution of the calling transaction to the blockchain client sending the calling transaction;

if not, indicating the node equipment of the block chain to update the state of the intelligent contract account on the block chain, saving a transaction receipt of the intelligent contract calling transaction to an MPT receipt tree, and updating the remaining storage capacity and/or the remaining effective duration of the intelligent contract account maintained by the management platform.

In this embodiment, the node device executes the intelligent contract invocation transaction first to obtain the actual remaining storage capacity of the intelligent contract account after the transaction is executed, so that the management platform may verify whether the actual remaining storage capacity of the intelligent contract account is lower than a preset threshold after the intelligent contract invocation transaction is executed, and/or verify whether the remaining effective duration is lower than a preset threshold.

In yet another illustrated embodiment, an intelligent contract creator may set virtual resource transfer logic in execution logic corresponding to contract code of an intelligent contract to cause a node device of a blockchain to invoke a transaction in response to the intelligent contract, invoke the virtual resource transfer logic of the intelligent contract, deduct a virtual resource amount corresponding to the intelligent contract invocation transaction from a user account sending the invocation transaction, and allocate the virtual resource amount corresponding to the intelligent contract invocation transaction to the intelligent contract account or an administrative user account maintained by the intelligent contract.

Specifically, the virtual resource transfer logic of the intelligent contract may declare a virtual resource transfer rule corresponding to a called function type of the intelligent contract call transaction, or an anchor relationship between the new storage capacity occupation of the intelligent contract account and the value of the virtual resource after the intelligent contract call transaction is executed, and the like.

By the intelligent contract calling method, the user can call the execution of the transaction based on the intelligent contract sent by the user, and perform corresponding virtual resource transfer to the intelligent contract account or the management user account maintained by the intelligent contract, so that the user is prevented from calling the intelligent contract randomly, and the storage space management of the intelligent contract account is optimized; and because the intelligent contract can obtain a corresponding amount of virtual resources due to providing the intelligent contract calling service for the user, the intelligent contract developer is encouraged to develop a better intelligent contract calling service.

Based on the method for calling the intelligent contract provided by the embodiment, a user can allocate the residual storage capacity of the account storage resource to the intelligent contract through the node equipment maintained on the management platform; and/or performing authority control on whether the intelligent contract can be called or not according to the remaining effective duration corresponding to the account storage resource.

Based on the method for creating an intelligent contract according to one or more embodiments, the system resources hosted by the node devices of the block chain may be value-anchored with the virtual resources published on the block chain, so that the management platform may collect and allocate the first amount of virtual resources on behalf of the user or institution entity corresponding to the node devices of the block chain on the basis of the first amount of the virtual resources anchored by the system resource value of the node devices consumed for processing the intelligent contract creation transaction. The block chain resource allocation is optimized, block chain system resource waste caused by random establishment of intelligent contracts in a non-charging mode is prevented, and compared with the existing mode that only miner nodes charge transaction fees, each node device in the block chain is encouraged to contribute corresponding system resources in a fairer virtual resource allocation mode.
